Christmas literally means festival celebrating birth of Jesus Christ; virtually every one agrees on this. Christmas is not a word in crisis; even Wikipedia Free Encoder(known to have a liberal tint in matters of religion) says that the 25th of December has been set aside as a festival to commemorate the birth of Christ. Christmas is only recognized by western countries that at one point had a Judeo-European influence. In countries that do celebrate it, Christmas has often become the most popular holiday. People often celebrate by the giving of gifts in memory of Jesus. So it should be no wonder that people don’t like to use the word “Christmas” and put other words in its place, like “ Merry Merry” and “Happy Holidays.” These saying are not inherently wrong; it is the fact that they are a replacement for the truth in an attempt to make people forget the true definition of Christmas.
